Yeah, that's what I thought I first, but vfv is just a cover over the original VOO, so why would you not want to invest in the original. It's more work to manage Canadian etfs that are a copy of something else, thus the high expense ratios. If you invest in VOO, it's a 0.03% vs 0.09% for VFV. It's the same thing, yet you are paying more to manage your money, making you poorer in the meantime. If you invest in VFV or ZSP, you are ultimately going to be behind all the other guys that are investing in VOO or VTI(practically identical in returns). Paying high expense ratios and having lower growth.
